some middle-aged playboy in dc named bill said something a few months ago about backing the internet and e-commerce to the hilt... does your feb. target date factor that in?

Two potential IFs:

(1) if the US local exchange carriers are allowed to start charging usage rather than a straight flat unlimited use --- this is standard in Europe
